Wireless Basics

D-Linkwireless products are based on industry standards to provide easy-to-use andcompatible high-speed wireless connectivity within your home, business or public accesswireless networks. D-Link wireless products will allow you access to the data you want,

when and where you want it. You will be able to enjoy the freedom that wireless networkingbrings.

A Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) is a cellular computer network that transmitsand receives data with radio signals instead of wires. WLANs are used increasingly inboth home and office environments, and public areas such as airports, coffee shops anduniversities. Innovative ways to utilize WLAN technology are helping people to work andcommunicate more efficiently. Increased mobility and the absence of cabling and otherfixed infrastructure have proven to be beneficial for many users.

Wireless users can use the same applications they use on a wired network. Wirelessadapter cards used on laptop and desktop systems support the same protocols as

Ethernet adapter cards.

People use WLAN technology for many different purposes:

Mobility - Productivity increases when people have access to data in any locationwithin the operating range of the WLAN. Management decisions based on real-timeinformation can significantly improve worker efficiency.

Low Implementation CostsWLANs are easy to set up, manage, change andrelocate. Networks that frequently change can benefit from WLANs ease ofimplementation. WLANs can operate in locations where installation of wiring may beimpractical.

Installation and Network Expansion- Installing a WLAN system can be fastand easy and can eliminate the need to pull cable through walls and ceilings. Wirelesstechnology allows the network to go where wires cannot go - even outside the home or

office.ScalabilityWLANs can be configured in a variety of ways to meet the needs ofspecific applications and installations. Configurations are easily changed and rangefrom Peer-to-Peer networks suitable for a small number of users to larger infrastructurenetworks to accommodate hundreds or thousands of users, depending on the numberof wireless devices deployed.

Inexpensive Solution -Wireless network devices are as competitively priced asconventional Ethernet network devices.

Installation Considerations

The number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wirelesssignals must pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on thetypes of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business.

The key to maximizing wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:

Wireless Basics (continued)

Building Materials can impede the wireless signal - a solid metal door or aluminumstuds may have a negative effect on range. Try to position wireless devices andcomputers with wireless adapters so that the signal passes through drywall oropen doorways and not other materials.

33333

Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick(.5 meters), at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. Ata 2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick! Position devices so thatthe signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) forbetter reception.

22222

Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the DWL-700AP andother network devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduceyour D-Link Air Wireless products range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.)Position your devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.

11111

Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electricaldevices or appliances that generate RF noise.

Please remember thatD-Link Airwireless devices are pre-configured to connect

together, right out of the box, with their default settings.

You will need broadband Internet access (a Cable or DSL-subscriber line intoyour home or office).

Consult with your Cable or DSL provider for proper installation of the modem.

Connect the Cable or DSL modem to your broadband router (see the QuickInstallation Guide included with your router.)

If you are connecting a desktop computer in your network, you can install theD-Link AirDWL-520 Wireless PCI Adapter into an available PCI slot on yourdesktop computer.(See the Quick Installation Guide included with the DWL-520.)

Troubleshooting (continued)

Make sure the wireless client is associated and joined with the correct access

point. To check this connection: Right-click on the Local Area Connectionicon in the taskbar> select View Available Wireless Networks. The Connectto Wireless Network screen will appear. Please make sure you have selected

the correct available network, as shown in the illustrations below.

2. The wireless client cannot access the Internet in the Infrastructuremode.

Check that the IP address assigned to the wireless adapter is within the sameIP address range as the access point and gateway. Since the DWL-700AP hasan IP address of 192.168.0.50, wireless adapters must have an IP address inthe same range, e.g., 192.168.0.x. Each device must have a unique IP address;no two devices may have the same IP address. The subnet mask must be the

same for all the computers on the network. To check the IP address assignedto the wireless adapter, double-click on the Local Area Connection icon inthe taskbar > select the Support tab and the IP address will be displayed.(Please refer to Checking the IP Address in the Networking Basics section of

this manual.)

If it is necessary to assign a static IP address to the wireless adapter, pleaserefer to the appropriate section in Networking Basics. If you are entering a

DNS server address you must also enter the default gateway address.(Remember that if you have a DHCP-capable router, you will not need to assigna static IP address. See Networking Basics: Assigning a Static IP

Address.)
